Step onto the ice where the girls aren't always nice! A novel about the fun and frigid sides of figure skating.
For Claire Boucher, life is all about skating on the frozen pond and in her small town' s annual Maple Show right, before a big pancake breakfast on her family's farm. But all that changes when Russian skating coach Andrei Grosheva offers Claire a scholarship to train with the elite in Lake Placid. Tossed into a world of mean girls on ice, where competition is everything, Claire realizes that her sweet dream come true has sharper edges than she could have imagined. Can she find the strength to stand up to the people who want to see her fail and the courage to decide which dream she wants to follow?
